Studying at IBERS
IBERS is an internationally recognised centre of excellence and students' choice for the study of biological, environmental and rural sciences.
STUDENT SATISFACTION
"Aberystwyth University is, for the sixth consecutive year, leading on student satisfaction. The 2010 results of the National Student Survey (NSS) awarded Aberystwyth University a score of 4.4 (on a scale of 1-5 for student satisfaction), the second highest score for any public residential University in the UK and just behind Oxford University. Overall, the survey also places Aberystwyth at 5th place of all Universities in the UK, and top in Wales for the sixth year running, for student satisfaction. All schemes provided by IBERS achieved a very strong performance with scores of 4.5 and above for overall satisfaction".
POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH
The normal entry requirement for the three-year PhD research programme is a good honours degree or its equivalent in a subject relevant to the intended area of research. An honours degree in a suitable subject is also the normal requirement for entry into the two-year scheme leading to the MPhil degree. Applications are also welcomed from mature students and from non-graduates with appropriate experience that satisfy the University’s entry requirements.
